Moga, February 17

The Punjab Government has issued a notification on the Punjab Water Resources (Management and Regulation) Act, 2020, paving the way for the constitution of the Punjab Water Regulation and Development Authority.

The objective is to ensure development, management and conservation of water resources of the state in accordance with the Integrated State Water Plan.

The authority will be empowered to issue directions and guidelines for the conservation and management of water resources, besides issuing tariff orders specifying the charges to be imposed by entities supplying water for drinking, domestic, commercial and industrial use. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
